About

At Open Book Publishers we are changing the nature of the traditional academic book. Our books are published in hardback, paperback, pdf and ebook editions, but they also include a free online edition that can be read via our website, downloaded, reused or embedded anywhere. We are proud to say that our free online books are currently being accessed worldwide by over 20,000 readers each month.

In addition, our digital publishing model allows us to extend our books well beyond the printed page (for more information about some of our innovative titles, please see our blog post). We are creating interactive books, and works that incorporate moving images, links and sound into the fabric of the text. More traditional titles are equipped with digital resources freely available on our website, including extra chapters, reviews, links and image galleries — these can be found on the individual product page for each book.

Open Book Publishers, founded in 2008, is already the biggest open access academic publisher of monographs in the UK and amongst the leaders in the English-speaking world. We are now the hub of choice for a rapidly increasing international network of scholars who believe that it is time for academic publishing to become fairer, faster and more accessible.

We are a small group of dedicated and academically-oriented individuals, working with a distinguished editorial board to make research available to everyone in the world. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our aim is shared.
